Since starting out in the marine industry in the 1960’s, The Haines family of Brisbane have created an enviable empire over more than 50 years and many household names along the way.

The current brands which are either manufactured or distributed by The Haines Group from SE QLD are Signature Boats, Traveller Boats, Seafarer Boats, Designer Stainless, Suzuki Marine Outboards and Walker Bay Inflatables.

Approximately 6 months ago the management team took the decision to enter a new market. They looked at industries where our expertise and existing manufacturing techniques could be easily transferred. The result 6 months later is Seachange Caravans with the first model, the Seachange 640 Elite, rolling off the production line.

Hundreds of Boats are stolen each year in Australia, prompting a call for a national Identification Number (HIN) database. But what do we do until we get one?

2. Know your Boat or RV
3. Consider a theft-deterrent system
4. Have recovery systems with ID tags
5. Keep records of all serial numbers
6. Hold your purchase receipts
7. Don't put your valuables on display
8. Name your Boat or RV
9. Photograph your ownership
10. Make your item look hard to steal

Hi Reader,

Is the end of the financial year, just as exciting as any new year?

How we celebrate the end of the calendar year to the end of the financial year is an interesting thought on how these two different 'ends' of year' are celebrated in very different ways.

It's not hard to work out which most people most look forward to. But the financial year is arguably the most important to Governments, Businesses and Parents alike.  

With so many sales happening at this time of year, businesses have started calling EOFYS for short. Can you imagine having to do stock take at your shop and fill in your tax return, all in the middle of Christmas and holiday celebrations! It'd be a bit of a dampener on the party!

But with so many sales happening at this time of year, shop-a-holics would probably find the end of the financial year, just as exciting as any new year!

If you haven't escaped any part of the year? Challenge the winter blues with some R&R lifestyle that best suits you and enjoy reading our mid year Newsletter.

I thankyou for your support and look forward to working with you in the future.

Cheers,

Queensland caravanner Bronwyn McMillin and her pooch Chilli have welcomed BIG4's change of heart over its longstanding no-dogs policy.

Until now, Bronwyn, husband David and their six-year-old Mexican Chihuahua-Silky cross – along with thousands of other travellers with pets – have been barred from Australia's largest network of caravan and holiday parks.

But all that will change next month when, after what the chain called "detailed research and analysis", selected BIG4 parks will be allowed to throw down the welcome mat following a 32-year ban.
